What causes the Warmhaus rE06 fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler attempts to start but cannot detect a flame after several attempts. It is usually caused by a lack of gas reaching the burner, a faulty spark plug that cannot ignite the gas, or a sensor that fails to tell the boiler that a flame is present.

This issue can occur in winter if the external gas regulator freezes or if the gas meter is under-delivered during periods of high demand.

Typical repair cost £100-£250 (including labour)
